Relations Will Be Strained

(By Harold K. Milka)

LONDON, Jan. 2——(AP)—TM\O o! Britain's leading papers strong- i_v criticizcd Washington's China policy today and said they feared it would strain the Anglo-Ameri- can partnership.

Their declarations were made at the start of the week 1n which many observers expect Britain for- mally to announce recognition of

COmmiinist China, The comment was in conncction with reports from Washington that, far from

recognizing the Pciping regime of Communist Mao Tze-Tung, the Un- ited States may give some fur- thcr moral or other iild to Gener- nllsslmo Chinniz Kal-Shek in de- fending the island of Formosa.

Reports from responsible in- formants in Washington said President Truman had taken a stand against using American tTOOps to rlcfcnd the strategic island 100 miles off the Chin- eso coast, hut that this (lccls- ion did not preclude economic and political nld, Some Con- gressmen were reported pro- posing that the United States trike over Formosan air bases in return for limited American military nid.

Th; United States already has ordered an aircraft carrier and other warcraft to reinforce its fleet in Asiatic ivnters, nnd the Arncrican joint chiefs of staff are to visit the Fur East-avoiding Formosn-—in Fcliruary.

The Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Manchester Guardian all ivarned editorially of possible ad- verse effects should the United States aid in defending Formosa While Britain backed the Peiping Reds.

"Having washed hcr hands of Chinng, shc (the Unltcd States) is now unwashing them." said the Manchester Guardian, "it is the old trouble of t.rylng to un- scramble tin omeletfn."

"Britain and tho United States would find themselves recognizing opposite sides in a squalid and usclcss struggle in the China Sea." said the Times.

The Conservative Daily Tele- graph described American policy toward China as "vaclllaiing nnd imprecise", and Ono which might strain future British-American rc- lotions.

"The brightest hope in Moscow for n new ycnr would be a break iii the solidarity which has govern- cd Anglo-American relations in re- cent’. years." the Telegraph edi- torial continued.

The Miinclicsicr Guardian, most critical of tlic three ncwspapcrs, snid "this new ilccision ovcr Chino is a result of domestic politics. Thcso can b» understood nntl there is no llso complaining, But none the less the action in Formosa is ilcploruhic."

"It is riiro for a Govcrnmcnt to rcpcnt its mistakes so exactly nnd quickly as 1\ir. Truman's adminis- tration bus now done."
